The story focuses on Monmouth, but its relevant to all FCS schools.

At a conference last week our Dean made it clear we will have no problems funding anything this year (2010-11). The following year may not be so kind.

Keep in mind that the OPEED reporting is sketchy at best.
The real meat is in the worksheets which are not required to be made public.
OPEED reporting is relatively good for figuring out budgets, but not good for looking at revenues. I say relatively good for budgets because its not clear how facilities maintenance and construction is reported.

FCS football in the northeast is certainly in rough shape.
